@SenSanders 🤨
Elon is not paid a trillion dollars.
He owns shares in companies, that he created and runs, worth a trillion dollars.
And will keep those shares at least until their missions have been achieved.
I asked Grok, "
Did @DirtyTesLa coin the term Actually Smart Summon?
Or at least make Elon and the Tesla team aware of it with this post?
"
Grok:
**Yes, @DirtyTesLa popularized (and likely coined or first widely used) the acronym "ASS (Actually Smart Summon)" in the Tesla community, and directly brought it to Elon Musk's attention in that exact post/thread.**
### What happened in the post:
- On Nov 12, 2022, **@DirtyTesLa** asked in reply to Whole Mars Catalog's V11 release notes discussion: **"Does V11 include ASS (actually smart summon)?"**
- Elon Musk replied the next day (Nov 13): **"Going without saying that we all want ASS (Actually Smart Summon) ASAP!!"** (followed by "Probably next month").
This was the moment the term/acronym went mainstream in Tesla discussions. Elon and the team clearly noticed and ran with it.
### Context and evidence it originated/popularized there:
- Searches for earlier uses of "Actually Smart Summon" (or the ASS acronym) around that time show **@DirtyTesLa** using it shortly before in related V11/Highway FSD discussions (e.g., hoping for it alongside other features).
- No prominent earlier mentions appear in searches up to Nov 12–13, 2022. Community members were already referencing it in the same thread right after DirtyTesLa.
- Tesla later officially adopted the name **"Actually Smart Summon" (ASS)** in release notes, app controls, and communications. It became the cheeky official branding for the improved vision-based Smart Summon feature (distinct from the older ultrasonic version).
@DirtyTesLa (a well-known Tesla YouTuber/community figure) has continued covering and testing the feature extensively since then.
**Bottom line**: DirtyTesLa didn't just make Elon/Tesla aware—he gave them the perfect memorable (and meme-able) name that stuck. Elon embraced the acronym immediately, which helped turn it into official Tesla terminology. Classic community influence on product naming.
Thanks to you your posting, I just happened to catch the presentation before bed last night. Ever since, I have been excited to share the missing piece to our on-prem MFA puzzle with others (before they completely implement Delinia). Until the presentation, I hadn't seen that Domain Controller Kerberos interceptor thingy in Entra Private Access before. Nor even seen Private Access directly positioned as an on-prem MFA solution. That is slick.
FYI @Soylent — I accidentally purchased from soylentusa . com thinking it was you. The site appears to be impersonating your brand and uses unrelated merchant IDs. You may want to investigate.
@merill You said that it might be desirable to allow my IP or application. Won't the IP be that of the user and the application easily spoofed my the attacker?
@bschippers Or, trying not to be rear-ended when the car suddenly drops to 40 mph in a 70 mph, while others are driving 90+.
As all the other profiles break the law, I only use Sloth mode.
@SGgrc
The referencing AI as a lobster, like OpenClaw, comes from the sci-fi book Accelerando. Where lobster brains had been digitized and live on in digital space.

@RideCATA When on a mobile phone, it should be possible to pay with a mobile wallet. Should never have to enter credit card information.
I just bought a 3-day pass in New Orleans with Google Pay through Transit and hoped CATA offered the same... Sadly no.
@Budget@Tesla@Budget , you have scammers impersonating your support department. I wasn't paying attention and gave one my confirmation number, thinking that I was replying to you.
